Albertson discusses how the Golden State's diverse settings provide endless inspiration for her many romance novels. “I really use setting as a character, and I was contrasting La Jolla and Barrio Logan and different communities,” says Albertson. Albertson also shares a few sneak peaks of her upcoming works and names some of her top San Diego County spots for coffee, tacos, and books.  Next, Johnson is joined by Melissa Broder, author of the mystical desert tale Death Valley. The Los Angeles author and poet recounts how a traumatic personal experience in the California desert inspired her latest novel. “I was just going to Zabriskie Point where nobody—it's a very touristy area—nobody ever gets lost there. I got completely lost and did everything you're not supposed to do,” Broder recalls.  She tops off the conversation by sharing her favorite local boutiques, restaurants, and hiking trails.   Lastly, Johnson talks with South Lake Tahoe–based memoirist and poet Suzanne Roberts. The Almost Somewhere author recounts her experience hiking the John Muir Trail: “Those 28 days taught me that there is more than one view of nature, that nature is a place where we should be connecting and not conquering.” The experienced outdoorswoman also builds an itinerary for both a laid-back and action-packed winter weekend in her hometown.

A new 'Craftwork' episode, about how meditation can inform creative writing. My guest is Melissa Broder, author of the novel Death Valley (Scribner). Broder's other books include the novels Milk Fed andThe Pisces, the essay collection So Sad Today, and five poetry collections, including Superdoom and Last Sext. She has written for The New York Times, Elle, and New York magazine's The Cut. She lives in Los Angeles. *** Otherppl with Brad Listi is a weekly literary podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

“Shift in perception is a miracle”   Death Valley by Melissa Broder is part desert survival story, part examination of grief — mixing the absurd with the profoundly human in a feat of imagination. Broder joins us to talk about the realities of anticipatory grief, incorporating fantastical elements into the real world, including humor in her work and more with guest host, Jenna Seery.     This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang.               Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays).         Featured Books (Episode):  Death Valley by Melissa Broder  The Pisces by Melissa Broder  Milk Fed by Melissa Broder  The Babysitter at Rest by Jen George  Open Throat by Henry Hoke  Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls  Leave Society by Tao Lin  The Passion According to G.H. by Clarice Lispector  Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey  Correction by Thomas Bernhard  Journal of a Solitude by May Sarton 

Melissa Broder is the author of Milk Fed, the ''sensuous and delightfully delirious tale'' (O, The Oprah Magazine) of a calorie-obsessed lapsed Jewish woman who falls under the spell of a zaftig Orthodox frozen yogurt store employee. Her other work includes the novel The Pisces, an essay collection titled So Sad Today, and four collections of poetry. Her poems have appeared in a multitude of publications, including Tin House and Guernica, and she is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize. In Death Valley, Broder weaves the tale of a woman who finds refuge from her sorrows through a mystical cactus in the high California desert. Hilary Leichter's novel Temporary, longlisted for the PEN/Hemingway Award and a finalist for The Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Prize, tells the tale of a young woman who fills increasingly bizarre temp job positions. It was named one of 2020's best books by NPR, Vulture, and Elle, and was a New York Times Editors' Choice. A creative writing professor at Columbia University, Leichter has earned fellowships from Yaddo, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, n+1, The New York Times, and Harper's Magazine, among other places. Her latest novel, Terrace Story, tells the story of a family living in a cramped apartment who finds a miraculous and inexplicable terrace in their closet.

Welcome back to another compelling episode of "From the Depths of Darkness to the Light of Success" with your host, Chris Swiech. In this episode, we dive deep into the riveting memoir that has been making waves since its release - "Strip: A Memoir" by the talented author, Hannah Sward. Published by Tortoise Press in 2022, this remarkable book unveils the harrowing journey of a woman who stumbled into the world of the sex industry and emerged stronger, wiser, and filled with stories that will leave you spellbound. Hannah Sward's memoir is a raw and unflinching account of her tumultuous path through the sex industry, and it is a testament to the power of resilience, courage, and the human spirit. As we explore her extraordinary narrative, we're honored to share insights from some of the most renowned authors who have praised her work: JM Coetzee, Nobel Prize in Literature laureate and the genius behind "Disgrace" and other literary masterpieces, commends Sward's memoir for its touching honesty and light-hearted prose. Her ability to navigate a complex and sensitive topic with such grace is truly remarkable. Melissa Broder, the celebrated author of "The Pisces," "Milk Fed," and "So Sad Today," describes "Strip" as an arresting, weighty, and visceral journey. Sward's memoir takes us on a rollercoaster of physical, emotional, and spiritual survival that will leave you breathless. Amy Dresner, the fearless author of "My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean," is captivated by Sward's signature stark style. In "Strip," Sward fearlessly addresses intimate and taboo subjects, immersing readers in her world with vivid descriptions that leave no room for self-pity or indulgence. Her writing is both shameless and descriptive, keeping readers hungry for every word. In this episode, we'll have the privilege of delving into Hannah Sward's extraordinary journey as she shares her experiences, challenges, and ultimate triumphs in a world that often remains hidden from society's gaze. Join us as we explore how she navigated through darkness to find the light of success, offering hope and inspiration to all those who have faced adversity. As we unravel the pages of "Strip: A Memoir," we'll discover the true essence of resilience and the boundless strength of the human spirit. Tune in for an enlightening and moving conversation that will leave you inspired to overcome any obstacle in your own path. Don't miss this powerful episode of "From the Depths of Darkness to the Light of Success" with your host, Chris Swiech, as we journey through the depths of one woman's story and emerge on the other side, stronger and more determined than ever.

Anna Oppes"BookRave"È stato lanciato via social il progetto condiviso di otto case editrici (effequ, Iperborea, minimum fax, NN Editore, Nottetempo, Quinto Quarto, il Saggiatore, Sur), riscuotendo da subito tantissime adesioni: si tratta di BookRave, un progetto di lettura già ampiamente sostenuto da lettori e librerie, che prevede un percorso trimestrale tematico.Le librerie che aderiscono al progetto riceveranno dalle otto case editrici un titolo legato al tema del trimestre.Il primo tema è Corpi: perché il corpo attraversa le narrazioni e le storie, è elemento preponderante di riflessione sia in narrativa che in saggistica, attorno ad esso ruota gran parte della discussione contemporanea su rappresentazione e visibilità. BookRave presenterà otto storie (i cui titoli saranno rivelati a fine mese sui social delle case editrici), tra saggi, romanzi e graphic novel, per attraversare il tema centrale della contemporaneità, comprenderlo meglio e in qualche modo celebrarlo.Starà poi alla libreria e ai suoi lettori determinare un percorso assieme, trovare i collegamenti, giocare coi libri, stimolare le discussioni: è una sfida comune, che sarà sostenuta da iniziative da parte delle case editrici, incontri dal vivo, contenuti multimediali. L'obiettivo di BookRave è molteplice e ambizioso: creare un festival diffuso, collaborativo, mostrare come case editrici anche molto diverse tra loro possano riflettere su uno stesso tema, e come libri anche molto diversi, se messi in dialogo, possano aprire nuove prospettive.Ma soprattutto a BookRave piace l'idea di pensare che le cose si possano fare insieme, mettendo le proprie forze in condivisione, aprendo un percorso di dialogo e mutuo sostegno con le librerie e con chi i libri li acquista e li legge e ne parla.Ecco gli otto libri di BookRave: tutti riferiti al tema trasversale del CorpoSangue cattivo, di Beatrice Galluzzi, effequCorpi dipinti, di Matt Lodder, il SaggiatoreLa valle dei fiori, di Niviaq Korneliussen, IperboreaAll the love I can get, di Tommi Parrish, minimum faxAffamata, di Melissa Broder, NN EditoreChiedi se vive o se muore, di Gaia Giovagnoli, nottetempoL'Arte del Drag, di Jake Hall, Sofie Birkin, Helen Li, Jasjyot Singh Hans, Quinto Quarto edizioniUmani ibridi, di Harry Parker, SurIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Mushrooms! Librarians! Serial killer victims brought back to life! New friends and life reinvigorated through reading! We've had some good reads since our last episode. We're both digging into our #BigBookSummer reading challenge books. Emily has started DEVIL IN THE GROVE by Gilbert King. Chris has thrown away the reading schedule for ULYSSES by James Joyce but is reading on. In Biblio Adventures, Chris had a browse at the Book Barn in Niantic, CT where she stumbled across TRAVELS WITHOUT CHARLEY by Bill Goralski. She also attended a fall preview event with Simon and Schuster where five authors talked with their editors about their forthcoming fall releases: Safiya Sinclair, Myriam Gurba, Stephanie Land, Nicole Walters, and Melissa Broder. We both enjoyed our 2nd quarter readalong pick, THE READING LIST and were delighted to talk with author Sara Nisha Adams! Just after our conversation with Sara, we announce our 3rd quarter readalong plans. Buckle up for SCARLET SUMMER!

Our book this episode is the book Milkfed by Melissa Broder. And it sparks a big conversation covering appetite, disordered eating, faith, sex, frozen yogurt, and a bit of mysticism for good measure. It's a fascinating, well-written, but ultimately (for us at least), sad book that gave us A LOT to talk and think about. We also share some book and cocktail recommendations for puzzle nights (they're a thing, we're on board).Please note - In this episode, we discuss the disordered eating habits of the book's protagonist Rachel. If you'd prefer not to listen to that, please skip to around the 20-minute mark where we shift gears. Thank you as always to our producer Kristy Reading and to Smith and Jones for generously allowing us to include your beautiful song Small Town Woman at the beginning and end of this episode.All the links to everything we mention, plus recipes and book recommendations, will be sent to our lovely subscribers later today.

This week, we discuss the OG Sad Girl Melissa Broder's essay collections titled So Sad Today. Being Sad Girls ourselves, we couldn't relate more to this series of vulnerable, heartbreaking and hilarious essays.

I dagens afsnit har vi fået fint besøg af Emma Holten.Emma er Tvilling i soltegn, og så har hun månen i Skytten og ascendanten i Vægtens tegn. Hun cand. mag. i Moderne Kultur og Kulturformidling, og så er hun feministisk debattør, foredragsholder, kønspolitisk rådgiver og oversætter. Hun har for nyligt oversat romanen “I Fiskens tegn” af den amerikanske forfatter Melissa Broder, og vi lægger ud med en snak om denne ret bizarre og fantastiske bog.  Emma er en skøn Tvilling med utroligt mange hatte på, og hun blev oprindeligt offentligt kendt både i Danmark og internationalt, da hun i 2014 tog til genmæle mod digital krænkelse, fordi der i 2011 var blevet lækket intime billeder af hende. Hun er siden blevet kendt som en af de største unge stemmer i dansk feminisme, og vi er enormt stolte af at have hende i studiet.Vi snakker bl.a. om at vigtigheden af at vise flere følelser i politik, om at øve sig i grænsesætning, give plads til vreden, og om hvordan man tager ansvar for smerten, så den kan blive til en superheltekappe. Som Emma så fint siger det i afsnittet: Aldrig spild en god livskrise! Rigtig god fornøjelse med afsnittet.  Link til 10'er.dk, hvor du kan donere et valgfrit beløb for at støtte podcasten:https://10er.app/ Tilrettelæggere og værter: Marianne Gellert og Amalie Bendixen Optagelse, klip og mix: Jakob Ranum Titelmusik: Empha JomsøEpisodemusik: Emil Märcher-Rørsted Hostet by PodadsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
